“Caitlin was absolutely wonderful with our 9-month-old puppy! She was incredibly responsive throughout the week and consistently sent photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our puppy was treated like one of her own—she got so much love, attention, and care. Honestly, I think our pup was living her best life playing with Caitlin’s dogs and spending time with her family! We would 100% trust Caitlin again and would happily have our puppy stay with her anytime. Highly recommend!”
“Britni and family were awesome to work with. She reported the happenings on a regular. That provide a level of comfort as you never know how your doggie with act around others. Suntona enjoyed the attention and active life style he was engaged in.”
“Teddy loves staying at David’s house. He loves playing with his puppy friends. He gets good exercise. David knows how to encourage Teddy to eat. We get pictures and updates. We are repeat clients. We highly recommend David for your dog’s boarding needs.”
“Thank you Karlee for taking care of Carmen! Carmen travels with us a lot and it’s so helpful for us to have a safe place for her stay when we are away from home and have non dog activities planned.”
“Kelsey was absolutely incredible. She took on my three dogs like it was nothing. Having three dogs sometimes intimidates people, but those fur babies are part of the family. She kept in communication up until I dropped the dogs off in her care. She was compassionate, and welcomed them into her house with open arms. She was updating me, and sending pictures of there fun adventures! We can’t wait to bring them back again!”
“The best. Juno loves going to see them. I love getting the photos and Patty and Patrick are the kindest people who love pets. So lucky I found them!”
“Buddy enjoyed his stay! Great fenced in yard to run and play with the other dogs. We appreciated getting pictures and updates while we were away. Buddy came home ready to nap after having so much fun! Will definitely stay again. Thank you! Carrie & Dan”
“Luna had a fabulous stay with Renee and James! She was treated so well and had ample walks and backyard time. Thank you both for taking great care of her while I was out of state!”
“Lori was amazing! She made Nipsey feel like a part of the family! She updated me everyday and sent pictures of Nipsey. Nipsey definitely enjoyed himself and we will most certainly book her again!”
“Kyle was great! He has an awesome fenced in backyard for dogs like mine who have high energy and need room to run. My dog Marvel also needs a couple minutes to warm up to new dogs and Kyle handled introductions really well. He also helped administer some daily medication he needed without any hesitation on the special request. Marvel came home happy and tired from all of the playing with Coco and the other dogs there. Would book again!”
“Nicole and her family are so kind and loving. They did such an amazing job watching Pepper when we were out of town. Nicole sent daily updates and photos, which were fun to see each day. I felt so comfortable knowing our pup was being well cared for and I was able to relax and enjoy our trip without worrying about her. Thank you so much, Nicole and family!!”
“April, Austin and Logan took the best care of our little doggie! We got constant photos, video and updates which was a great thing for us new pet parents. Charlie had fun playing with all the cool toys and making friends with other dogs. 10/10 would recommend and will work with again!”
“My dog, Tiger, was very well cared for during his stay at Heidy’s. She kept me informed about how he was adjusting and he enjoyed spending time in the big back yard. Her dogs are delightful too! I look forward to returning to Heidy’s in the future and also plan to utilize her grooming services.”
“My pup has reactivity to some dogs and had never had any exposure to cats. I was nervous to leave him with Ali's dog and 2 cats cats but, my concerns were alleviated by Ali and Walker. They have a seperate, comfortable space for dogs downstairs, Buster (wiener dog) was very sweet to my dog during a meet and greet, and even the cats were accustomed to dogs. I recieved daily updates and my dog came home happy and tired - just what I was hoping for.”
“Our family is so grateful for the care Cindy and her family gave Nala. Since we rarely leave Nala with sitters, we were initially nervous, but Cindy’s kindness put us at ease right away. After a successful meet-and-greet, Nala settled in perfectly with her dogs. Throughout the stay, Cindy was incredibly communicative, sending frequent photo updates regarding Nala’s eating and behavior. She was also very flexible and understanding when our return flight was delayed. Nala came home happy, healthy, and content. We will definitely be booking with Cindy again!”
“It is the third time Amanda watches Pierce for us! She always send pictures of him, keep us posted on he is doing. Definitely recommend her for taking care of your dog! Thank you again Amanda!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elk River
We really appreciated Andrea’s quick responses to our questions and concerns. She was very accommodating in dealing with our pup’s aversion to fireworks. Her dogs got along well with ours, and we received daily pictures and updates, letting us know Lucky was pampered and well cared for. We will definitely use Andrea again in the future.
We loved Lindsay! She was so great with Moose, and we really appreciated the pictures she sent while we were away. We loved how she let him just make himself at home with her, took him on plenty of walks, and even let him keep a toy he fell in love with during his stay! We will definitely have Moose visit Lindsay more often!

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
